[You may level up your Arcane Path by following the way that led you to it.]

[To acquire Path Runes to fill the slots, you must enter Exceed Secret Realms and kill Exceed-tier lifeforms there. They will drop Path Runes. All Path Runes are initially blank, but once inserted, they will awaken and show their effects, shaped by your Arcane Path.]

[Path Runes can be upgraded only by consuming blank Path Runes.]

’This is what Isalyn told us about,’ Rudrean thought. ’The secret realms are also not from this universe, like the Exceed Shrines. It makes sense that the only way to further develop an Arcane Path is through those.’

[Your Arcane Path awakening is complete. If you want to replace your Arcane Path, you may go to any Exceed Shrine and request a deletion.]

’No, no. Absolutely not.’ Rudrean felt a chill crawl down his back.

He did not want to experience eternally dying at the hands of his wives like he did before.

[You may exit now.]

In the next moment, Rudrean saw a door in front of him and walked out.

He turned his head to the right and saw Aelira walking out at the same time.

"Rudy!" Aelira jumped and hugged him, snuggling her head on his shoulder. "I missed you so much."

Rudrean smiled and caressed her back. "Me too."

[Isalyn: Well, well. I knew you both would gain a powerful Arcane Path, but this is insane.]

"Oh yeah, how long were we inside, Isalyn? My connection with you was also severed," Rudrean asked.

"You just went in and came out. Time passing inside the Exceed Shrine basically doesn’t count in this universe. To me, you guys just went in and came out in a second."

Rudrean and Aelira looked at each other, shocked.

"I felt like I spent years inside," Aelira wryly smiled.

Rudrean let out a hollow chuckle. "Exactly. So, what Arcane Path did you get, Lira?"

Aelira grinned. "It’s called Voidandi of Everlasting Devotion."

"What?" Rudrean was surprised. "Mine is called Voidante of Undying Devotion!"

[Isalyn: That’s what I am saying.]

"Wait, what did you answer to the first question?" Rudrean asked. "What do you want to do in life?"

"Me? I answered that I want to love my darling forever and do nothing else." Aelira grinned. "Then I got Voidandi as an option. It had Recommended and Nightmare next to it." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Rudrean was shocked. "I also answered the same."

Yes. He did answer that in his mind. He answered that he wanted to live and love his wives and do nothing else.

Physically, he was speaking slowly, but in his mind, he had already formed the answer.

The reason he was interrupted was not that the Shrine took his short answer.

It was because the Shrine accepted the answer from his intent, his true thoughts.

[Isalyn: I am envious. Alright, I’ve decided. I am going into the Shrine and removing my current Arcane Path.]

Suddenly, Isalyn emerged from the pocket dimension and went inside.

A second later, she came out and swiftly returned to the pocket dimension.

[Isalyn: Done. Now, I would like to have Aelira’s Arcane Path, darling. We will have to work hard for that.]

Rudrean checked Aelira’s Arcane Path through his Love-Bound Arcane talent.

Aelira grinned. "Exactly. Anyway, we can work hard at the new place we are going to. Rainstar Institute of Adventurers, right? It sounds fun."

[Isalyn: It will indeed be fun, but we will have to buy private property there so we can live freely. It’s better that I start with a clean slate. With my old Arcane Path’s powers gone, I won’t have to use them, and no one will recognize me since this Arcane Path I got wasn’t shared with anyone. It had very recognizable powers.]

"But how do people even share Arcane Paths they’ve acquired?" Rudrean curiously asked. "Moreover, leveling up an Arcane Path seems to be exclusive. It doesn’t seem like anyone can just get someone else’s Arcane Path."

"True. The Arcane Paths we both got are pretty crazy." Aelira nodded and got onto the spaceship.

Isalyn also appeared outside once they were inside the spaceship and said, "Of course, dummies. You both got Legendary-rank Arcane Paths! It’s my first time seeing one, but now I’m seeing two!"

Sitting down on the couch as the spaceship began its FTL drive, she continued, "As for your question about sharing, Arcane Paths automatically modify themselves when someone accepts another person’s Arcane Path. This also lowers its quality compared to the original. Many people can’t obtain a complete Arcane Path because they fail the test, so they have to take someone else’s. But they can keep trying every year."

"Wait, but if you learn my Arcane Path through darling’s Love-Bound Arcane talent, it won’t be degraded, right?" Aelira asked.

"It should not..." Rudrean muttered.

Isalyn wryly smiled. "That’s what I am hoping. Seeing you two having Arcane Paths and passing such a difficult test about your love... I am envious. When I went to the Exceed Shrine, all I thought about was getting stronger and taking revenge, so I got the Nightshroud Grimfang path."

"But now?" Aelira blinked with a cheeky smile.

Isalyn grinned at the duo. "Now I have a new life thanks to you two, and you are my priority. This love from darling, I never want to lose it."

Rudrean smiled. "Me too."

"Me too!" Aelira grinned.
